The manufacturers of cutting machines talk about technology comparisons and convince us of the superiority of their solutions over others available on the market. This is only natural from a marketing point of view. However, it is important to consider whether the manufacturer of a technical solution can credibly refer to other solutions on the market and, above all, whether they have sufficient knowledge to be able to make comparisons at all.

Plasma cutting machines are one of the fastest growing and most efficient methods of cutting metals. There are many parameters that help in choosing the best machine to ensure the desired results in the shortest possible time. The basic factor that needs to be determined before purchasing a machine is the type of metal the cutter will be working with and its thickness. There are now many models on the market that fulfill different criteria. Depending on the application, the ranking of the best models may vary. It is therefore worth looking at the top models from a broader perspective, taking performance, price and economy into account.

Square tubes made of stainless steel, plastic or steel, there is a wide range of different materials and workpiece properties. Quality is not the only important factor when cutting square tubes. Precision, cutting speed and other factors also play a particularly important role. At Eckert Cutting, we know that the individual square tubes differ from each other in many different properties. At Eckert Cutting, we offer you a wide range of different machines for cutting square tubes. These not only guarantee a particularly high level of user convenience and flexibility, but also impress with their high repeat accuracy and impeccable quality.

Plasma cutting is a process for cutting metal by melting and ejecting it from a cutting gap. The entire process is carried out using a special plasma arc that works under the influence of high kinetic energy. For the cutting process to work properly, a glowing arc must be maintained between the material to be cut and the non-melting electrode. The jet of compressed air that flows over the glowing arc causes ionization and therefore a high power density.

Waterjet cutting technology is very complex in terms of the variables that make up the operating costs of a machine. The aim of this article is to identify all the factors that affect the operating costs of a machine and to show their influence in relation to each other when the values of the parameters that characterize the variables change.

The solutions offered by Eckert are changing the quality of profile cutting. The possibilities for cutting, processing and attaching through-holes have improved considerably, and their execution was not yet as precise as it is today.

To cut aluminum, it is best to choose a technology with waterjet or laser cutting. Waterjet cutting is an excellent choice as there is no thermal influence on the material that could lead to metallurgical changes at the cut edge.

Basalt is an extremely hard and dense volcanic rock that places special demands on processing. The best technique for cutting basalt is water jet cutting. This process uses a high pressure water jet, which is often reinforced with an abrasive material such as garnet sand, to penetrate the material and produce precise cuts.

The ideal technique for cutting copper is waterjet cutting. By using a fine abrasive and high-pressure water, precise cuts are produced without thermal influence. This is particularly important with copper, as it has a high thermal conductivity, making cutting methods that use heat, such as plasma cutting, less effective. 

Granite is a very hard and dense material that places special demands on the cutting technique. The ideal method for cutting granite is waterjet cutting. This technique uses a high-pressure water jet, which is often reinforced with abrasives, to cut through the hardest materials such as granite. As no heat is generated during waterjet cutting, there is no thermal stress or deformation in the material, resulting in a clean and precise cut.

Oxygen cutting, also known as gas cutting, is well-known and has been widely used in many industries for many years. It also turns out that this method, although the oldest, still has great development potential and is gaining new opportunities thanks to technological advances. The use of hydrogen in oxygen cutting is a new chapter that means improved results in many areas.

Security is a value in daily life and in the workplace that cannot be fully assessed. Threats will always be an undesirable phenomenon that should be eliminated by applying various types of security measures whose effectiveness has been tested beforehand.

Lead is a soft, dense metal that is ideal for processing using waterjet cutting. Waterjet cutting is a cold-working process in which a high-pressure water jet is used to cut materials. One of the main advantages of this method is that it does not generate heat, which preserves the structural integrity of the cut area.

The water jet is best suited to cutting limestone optimally. Waterjet cutting is ideal for processing natural stone such as limestone, as it enables precise cuts without subjecting the material to thermal stress. In waterjet cutting, a high-pressure water jet, often with an abrasive additive, is directed at the material, creating a clean and precise cutting edge.

Marble cutting requires precision and care to avoid damaging the material. The best technique for cutting marble is therefore waterjet cutting. This method uses a high-pressure water jet that is enriched with an abrasive, often sand or similar particles. The water jet is ejected under high pressure, creating a powerful cutting force that even hard marble cannot withstand.
